Mrs. Heiks has been my teacher sense 7th grade. That year we had a few thing against us and one song at one of our concerts wasn't good. That song was Wood Splitter Fanfare. It was so bad that we have had a joke about it sense. So I'm going to make Mrs. Heiks a flag so she will always remember the joke that was created.
Front
I designed main part of the flag so that it had the year we played, the years that the classes graduated, and the title of the song itself.
I took the front design into a software call Perla Premium to digitize the file and make it a DST file. It needed to be a DST file for the embroidery machine.
I then embroidered it.
Back
I also designed the back of the flag to have the names of all the students that were part of the orchestra that played that song.
I cut this out on heat press vinyl which you have to cut out mirrored so it ends up the right way on the fabric. I do it this way also meant I had to weeded out all of the names.
I then heat pressed the vinyl onto the fabric.
Putting together
I then sewed both sides of the fabric together. I sewed it so that there would be a tube of fabric that a pole could go in to hang it up.
